nothing my bunny is so skinny

What are you feeding your bunny? Hard to tell how old it is and that can play a part in how well it keeps condition.

I have noticed my fluffy English Angora rabbits are pretty skinny under their long fur. They have tons of food all the time, and fresh water, but they don't get fat and round like my other rabbits. Some breeds might just be a little skinnier than others. If your bunny is happy and active has good rabbit pellets available and can eat as much as it wants it is probably ok

Is he eating normally?

To make sure he isn't dangerously skinny, feel along his spine. If the muscle is parallel, he's healthy. If it is sunken, that means he has no fat stores and is burning muscle to survive. This is the too skinny that requires rescue diet.

He has long enough fur, you should check his poops; if they are smaller than usual, or if you find 'pearl necklaces' (poops joined together by bits of fur) you might have a mild case of wool block. Feed some pineapple, to dissolve the fur buildup in the gut, and lots of fiber to push the blockage through.

If he's eating normally, and you want him to gain weight, give him more treats. Sunflower is great, since they eat the shells as well, which is good fiber.

my bunny is eating hay and some blueberry

Well regular hay by itself is not enough to maintain weight on many rabbits. If you live in the US rabbit pellets like this should be easy to find and are a good option to help your rabbit gain weight.

Also be sure your rabbit has access to plenty of fresh water. If he doesn't he won't eat enough.
